Pa. woman makes spectacle of self, returns glasses

MONROEVILLE, Pa. (AP) — A woman has returned a pair of $2,000 eyeglasses she stole from a Pittsburgh-area shop after she made a spectacle of herself when surveillance video of the heist was broadcast on the local TV news.

Brad Childs, vice president of the Eyetique in Penn Center, tells WPXI-TV (http://bit.ly/12lllH7) that the woman called the store after the station broadcast the video of Wednesday night's theft.

The woman, who isn't being identified and has not been charged by police, can be seen taking the glasses from a locked case while a man distracted a sales clerk.

Childs says the woman phoned him "after she saw herself on the news and asked me what we could do."

Police in Wilkins Township haven't decided whether the woman will be charged.
